Childhood Magic Shouldn’t Fade Away — It Should Grow With Us.
That belief is at the heart of everything we make. From the very beginning of our business, every product we’ve developed has carried that spark of wonder and playfulness that makes life feel magical. Not in a polished “marketing” kind of way — but in the real, backyard-full-of-self-built-projects, kooky-dad, let’s-try-it-and-see-what-happens kind of way.

🔹 OUR STORY
Anyone who’s seen our yard knows that our lives are powered by fun, physics, and engineering. My husband Jack has always had a childlike joy for learning and creating — the kind of joy he’s worked hard to keep alive into adulthood. Long before we became parents, he dreamed of the day he could share with our kids the magic of science, tinkering, and hands-on learning.
That dream took on a whole new role one day when Jack took our daughter Lucy to a STEM fair at the Expo Center. He wanted her to see the wonder of science in action — to build, discover, and play. But instead of interactive experiments and exciting demonstrations, the fair turned out to be more like a job expo.
Jack came home heartbroken. After tucking Lucy into bed, he told me how much of a lost opportunity it was — and how it explained why so many kids don’t love science: all the wonder had been sucked out of it.
That night, our mission became clear.

🔹 OUR MISSION
We set out to re-ignite the magic of physics by creating kits and curriculum that make kids (and their parents!) want to roll up their sleeves and play.
Our Physics Kits and Physics for Makers Curriculum are built around hands-on building, experimenting, and engineering projects — the kind that make you laugh, cheer, and want to test it “just one more time.”
Unlike other STEM boxes:
⚙️ CrunchLabs = robotics & programming with specialized parts
🎨 Koala Crates = crafts
🚀 Our kits = real-world physics, with everyday stuff transformed into bridges, ramps, cymatics experiments, or entire physics playgrounds.
The projects don’t end when the kit is done; they spark curiosity and inspire kids to keep building with what’s already around them.
Because science isn’t just something to learn.
✨ It’s something to live. ✨

🔹 WHO WE ARE
We’re Jack and Elise — a husband-and-wife team raising two kids, running a homegrown business, and doing our best to keep fun at the center of our lives.
Jack (mechanical engineer + ADHD powerhouse) brings the big ideas, constant invention, and relentless love of novelty.
I (Elise) bring the routines, organization, and behind-the-scenes work that keep everything moving.
Together, we’ve built our shop step by step, from a shed with tin snips and spray paint to a full-fledged workshop attached to our home.
And through it all, our guiding principle has been simple:
👉 If it’s not fun, it’s not worth making.

🔹 CONNECT WITH US
We don’t just make kits — we build community.
Through our Creators Craft Challenges, we host free online competitions open to everyone (kids, teens, families, classrooms, youth groups, all-the-single-ladies, caped crusaders… even aliens 🛸).
These challenges encourage creativity, a little friendly competition, and the chance to learn by seeing how others solve the same problem in completely different ways.
